The six core Avowed attributes are:

  • Might: Boosts physical and spiritual strength, increasing damage output from all sources and enhancing carry capacity. High Might unlocks unique dialogue options, potentially intimidating foes or avoiding conflict.

  • Constitution: Improves overall health and stamina, increasing maximum health and resistance to poison and bleeding. Also unlocks specific dialogue choices.

  • Dexterity: Increases attack and action speeds, improving weapon and ability use, consumable use, parkour, and reload speed. Enhances overall mobility.

  • Perception: Increases critical hit chance and maximum range for ranged weapons (bows, wands, guns). Unlocks minor dialogue options with limited gameplay impact.

  • Intellect: Increases maximum essence and resistance to fire, shock, and frost damage. Crucial for spellcasters but beneficial to all builds. Unlocks additional dialogue options.

  • Resolve: Improves maximum stamina and Second Wind effectiveness. Synergizes well with heavy weapons and tank builds. Unlocks dialogue options similar to Constitution.

Attribute Ranking and Strategic Allocation

While attribute benefits vary by build, some offer broader advantages. Here's our ranking:

  1. Perception: While increased critical hit chance and range are appealing, their practical impact is often limited by the game's close-quarters combat scenarios. Consider investing minimally, potentially re-speccing for specific encounters.

  2. Resolve: Increased stamina is valuable, but many unique armor pieces provide similar boosts, making Resolve somewhat redundant. Second Wind is helpful, but prioritizing health and mobility is often a more effective survival strategy.

  3. Intellect: Elemental resistance is crucial, mitigating significant damage. Increased maximum essence benefits all builds, even non-magic users, by enhancing various abilities.

  4. Dexterity: A versatile attribute improving attack and action speeds, enhancing mobility and overall DPS. A worthwhile investment for any playstyle.

  5. Constitution: Boosted maximum health and poison/bleed resistance are vital for survivability, as poison and bleed are frequently lethal.

  6. Might: The most impactful attribute, significantly increasing damage output across all weapons and boosting carry capacity. High carry capacity is essential for managing loot and staying mobile.

This ranking provides a framework for building your Avowed character. Remember to adjust your attribute points based on your chosen playstyle and combat preferences.
